If there are no fundamental reasons why one ratio would be able to produce more power than another, then how about this queston:
How would we expect the tuning parameters to change to make each design optimal for peak power. Specifically, how would ignition timing, intake port length and...
Ivymike,
Thanks for the input. I was thinking changing rod length and deck height to keep bore and stroke the same.
Based on the fact that the piston speed away from tdc is going to be different for the different r/s ratios, and that this would result in a different demand on the cylinder...
Would it be correct to assume that if two engines of the same displacement and same basic configuration each had different rod/stroke ratios, that they could both be optimized to produce the same power levels? In other words, if care was taken to account for the different breathing...
